Question And Answer

At IGWRT today, Kenia challenges us to hold some kind of conversation with another poem or poet. I discovered a question being asked HERE, and decided to write some kind of reply, which I've also linked to d'Verse Poets.

For BKM

I hear the Winter sadness in your song,
a dying melody that leaves no trace
of hope beyond its tucked and folded rhymes.

Your doors and windows of the mind have closed
and cast their sorrow's shade. You seek to light
the spark of faith, belief that Spring will come...

But though you feel you need to journey on,
direct your steps towards an unknown goal,
perhaps the surest route lies deep within
the very fibre of your being, where shines your soul...

Thanks for setting the challenge.I’ve come to the realisation that the hardest, but most rewarding journey we can take in life, it that mysterious one to the centre core of our being, for with that, I believe comes understanding of much that lies around us in the outside world.

Thanks, Jinksy. I almost never read anyone else's submission before posting my own, but I am unwell (terrible sore throat, can't talk, and my husband is sorry he's away and missing the silence) so I needed some help to understand the challenge. You've done it so well. Thanks again. I really needed the help.K

Jinksy, I do not have an affinity for poetry, but yours is very nice. Is this poem about someone someone changing their mind about a love and leaving? I have felt the winter come in several relationships,knew it was over and that there had to be something better than this in the future.
